Today is Ganesh Chaturthi and I am at home alone writing this post. Need of travel to native in subsequent week withheld my festival visit. Consequently, I celebrated alone at home with my own cuisine :D. Unfortunately nobody distributed sweets today on the festival occasion. That is when your mind veers towards home for those festive yummies.
Back to post, today evening as usual my friend joined the walk along Rachenahalli lake. Nowadays walk along the lake involves completing the circuit of 3kms. This long heavy stroll not only freshens you up but also helps in burning considerable calories. Today, it was different in Rachenahalli lake with massive clouds hovering around the region. I thought the clouds would tantalize by not pouring even a drop. The situation was as predicted until the clock the reached 7PM. Later on, the clouds gathered around the region dissipating huge amounts of rains for an hour. I escaped the wrath of rains by reaching just on time to home. The rains coupled with light winds, lightening & thunder further lowered the mercury levels but not the enthusiasm of festival. Following are the pictures shoot during our long stroll of nearly an hour before storm broke out.
Authorities have setup artificial pond to immerse the Ganesh idols installed at various houses/establishments. Some conclude the pooja on the same day while few prolong it to week. The lake had considerable gathering of devotees waiting for their to immerse the deity of intelligence. I too enjoyed the festive fervor along with snacks distributed by the people. As the rumble over sky amplified, it was time to leave the place and reach home to avoid soaking in rain. The rains beat down again for an hour. The humid weather during the daybreak hinted at more rains in coming days.
